                        ONE BILLION GUN RECORDS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
Illinois (Mrs. Miller) for 5 minutes.
  Mrs. MILLER of Illinois. Madam Speaker, the Biden administration is 
engaged in an assault on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding 
citizens.
  It was recently discovered that the Biden administration has been 
maintaining nearly 1 billion records on gun sales. My colleagues and I 
sent a letter to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and 
Explosives demanding answers about this registry. The ATF must be held 
accountable.
  Federal law prohibits the Biden administration from maintaining a 
database of 1 billion gun records.

                              {time}  1030

  What makes this more outrageous, this unconstitutional behavior of 
the Biden administration, is that, at the same time, they are 
continuing to empower Mexican cartels, criminal cartels who are 
transporting weapons across the border while threatening the rights of 
law-abiding Americans.
  Lawful gun owners are rightfully concerned, and it is up to Congress 
to investigate further. President Biden and the Democrats want to 
defund the police, take away your Second Amendment right to self-
defense, and then watch as crime skyrockets across the country, 
including in cities like Chicago.
  I will continue to stand up for our Second Amendment. As long as I am 
here in Congress, every day I will fight for our constitutional rights, 
including our Second Amendment.
